You are the first person to really explain this issue of the external rotation of the tibia, that I have for 20 years, thank you so much for explaining that!

From birth, and genetically my pelvis is both more open and tilted. I have mild hip dysplasia right more than left. Severely Anteverted Femurs with Tibial Torsion. My knees are as you mention. I am 44. I have never had surgery to correct anything. As an adult at age 21 when I got the bone twists diagnosed when I went to a doc... The doc said bilateral Intertrochanteric femoral osteotomies. 6 months in a half body cast and relearning to walk. Even with my husband's insurance that would have been $50,000 outta pocket. Not able to afford, and got scared. The doc predicted that I'd have arthritis in the knees at 30. I tried to get surgeries later at age 33. But no doc would do it. But no arthritis at that age either. I am now 44. My knees have hurt since I was 12yrs old. They are the coldest part of my body. They go numb, throb, stabbing pain, creak, wobble, or refuse to hold my weight. I went on a 2 mile walk on Friday. I have not been able to stand up with out the feeling of them buckling since. They are creaky, constant pain, cold even in this 80°+ heat, and occasionally have a sharp pain. I see my doc Thursday. How long can I last on knees with the opposing forces that my bones have given them all these years? I used to be active, as in walking a lot. I once walked 14 miles in one day (off and on all day) but the last 4yrs I have been in a mental slump. I got up to 200lbs, though now am 185. The 2 mile walk is now far according to my lungs and legs. I am scared, and am worried about the knees structural integrity after 44yrs of this.

I have my right knee knocked in I didn't realize that the right pelvis is externally rotated After watching this video I realized that I wasn't using my right core . Now I can fully feel my core while walking😅. This channel is a great help to me❤

Thank you so much, this explanation has been enlightening. It has helped me so much with my left foot issues.

This video is so helpful. Thanks for explaining so simple and concise

Brilliant! 👏 Thanks for explaining this so clearly.

Extraordinary superb tnks

Can you do a video on barefoot or minimalist shoes and their effects on these muscular/skeletal issues?

Superb explanation

It's pretty funny how my first google searches trying to find ways to help mitigate my knee valgus all lead to requiring surgery. I've already reduced my foot gap from 3" to 2" by just following various youtube videos to correct anterior pelvic tilt and opening up the hips for the last 6 months.

@@beginnerskitchen7618 Hey sorry for the late reply, I forgot to respond. I've learned a lot about my body over the last couple of years, and I think my knocked knees might be related to anterior pelvic tilt, rotating my femurs inward. I've been working on hip opening/mobility exercises as part of a more general exercise routine to help with it. I've also got an upcoming foot appointment that I hope might help as well.

Super as always

What a gold mine. Fantastic body mechanic awareness. Great explanation from a fellow PT! Edit to add: What resources do you use for learning biomechanics? Anatomy trains? Something else?

This super helpful, thank you!

This is super helpful, thank you!

Please make a video on meniscus tear

Ugh....wish there were links to these separate exercises in your videos, or in the caption. :-)

Wow that makes total sense. Thanks brotha

thank you for making this!

I have the lateral pain in my knee but I have the first one knee figuration you showed in the video the most common one

This video is gold

Hey Conor, your explanations are great. Does it make sense to train both? Just to give your hip a general mobility, for let's say you don't know your exact problem or you have a torsion, so one hip is forward and one backward rotated?

Dear sir... I'm 30 years old and my right keen hurts ... Looks like I've hip internal rotation.. my legs look like bow legs because of this... I'm really scared of having some serious knee issues ... Please help me... What should I do?

I think this is what I've been dealing with for almost 30 years and I fixed it a couple of times not knowing exactly what I did that fixed it but it always comes back. I've felt my femor pop as the quad muscles and patella shift over the femor and I have instant relief like my knee is normal again but I have trouble maintaining that position. When I tell my ortho's and PT's , they don't believe me and have told me so. Left leg femoral internal rotation with external tibial tortion with pain on the top left of the patella.

Could you please release the video on tibia work and the foot you mentioned at the end🙏🙏

You are the best at saving lives

This saved me because I thought my knee rotation was because of my ankle

It could be related if u have pronation within ur feet I have pronated feet thus my knees rotated inward then my hips

SERIOUS QUESTION!!!!!! what specialist will sit down and show me all this you are instead of telling me in person. is there a certain specialist or a certain word we have to use for our chiro/ Pt to SHOW us whats wrong with our body instead of saying " you have this so do these exercises "

A Chek practitioner level 1 or above will look at issues like this and coach on measures to correct it. I'm not sure about the title for others who do this his type of work, but it would likely be under the term corrective exercise

Finally a video that explains my problem I have IT band syndrome on my left leg too , is it related to that? Internal rotation I mean?

I have the first condition. huge internal hip rotation, knee goes inward and my tibia is going outwards with my foot. Can't balance on my leg I have an anterior knee pain and swelling under my knee cap. Bad tracking. How can I fix it? Is it ever curable? only Right side.

My knees face inward and I have bow legs. What could be the cause of this and how should I correct it??

Hey Connor, great info. I’m in the camp where my femur at the hip is extremely externally rotated and when I deadlift, both my femur and to a greater extent, my tibia externally rotate causing extreme torque. This is similar to your second example, however, I have extreme APT not PPT as you described in your example. Also, my internal rotation is pretty well non existent. Do you recommend I do the wall 90/90 and staggered stance dL even though I’m in APT?

Hi ..could u throw more light on lateral knee pain ,causes and exercises to heal it

Hey there Amazing information. What are you thoughts when this happens in the right instead of the left side ?

Hey Conor, question is in this video you mention that when the pelvis is in the forward pelvic tilt position the femur is internally rotated, but from other videos (left aic pattern) why is the femur externally rotated when the pelvis is in forward pelvic tilt?

4:19

As some with patella tracking issues/patellofemoral pain.. I have ER tibias, lack of hip ir/pronation, small athlete wide pelvis.. what do you think I need to work on?

I've been trying to search some stuff about just this! I'm the first person and have struggled for a long time to feel my hamstring on the side of internal rotation of the femur. Just to clarify, when doing your staggered stance RDL, video is one arm db, the pelvis side you're trying to fix is forward?

The side I am trying to target for IR would be the back leg in the staggered stance RDL.

Do you have an approach for varus knees, please? I have knee pain and I'm bow-legged.

Bow legged?? A lot of knee pain. What exercises?? Thx

Big time IR on my femur and big time ER on my tibia, only on the right side. My right foot turns completely outside when I run and then not only I have poor running mechanics but also have had problems with lateral knee pain and outside foot pain. Any suggestion of exercises I should be looking for? Just heard you on PJF Podcast, great stuff!

I would like to get an online coaching? I live in Sacramento California..

Hi Conor - do you have an email or website maybe a place I can purchase videos? Do you have a video about chronic hip internal rotation and perhaps tight and shortened glues piriformis and TFL . You have a video about lack of internal hip rotation , however my left hip is stuck in internal rotation. I looked for a video about this but I can’t find a video about relieving too much internal rotation (both my femurs are IR and tibia ER) :/ can you respond with a link? I found a comment about my request you said you’d post a vid but Ali didn’t find it. Also really interested in your biomechanics course. As you can tell my mechanics are not great 😂

Can you address bow legs? I have a bad anterior pelvic tilt, my femur def turns in but so does my tibia, I have high arches. I have a knee gap when I stand, however when I sit, my ankles, calves, knees all touch. can you address this?

Im having a hard time tracking all the new words (English 2nd language) I have the first condition demonstrated in the video, what exercises should i be doing?

@conorharris

I would try some of the drills mentioned for improving external rotation/posterior orientation of the hips

Can somebody explain me why a tilt in pelvic/hip flexion results/requires internal rotation? Is it because the femur attaches in an angle and if the acetabulum faces more downwards the femur has to follow or why?

My left leg facing this issue has excellent external rotation but lacks internal rotation a lot; why is it still happening to me then? I am confused.

But how do I know which degree of rotation is normal and if my assessment of the degree of the rotation is correct?

I fracture my left femur and had a rod place in it from my hip. Now I notice my knee is rotated inwards.

what to do for internal hip rotation, I have very bad internal hip rotation

On your video about the pooch bellies,how do i fix it? I'm a skinny guy with a big belly. I'm convince my issue is posture related, i def have apt. I watched your pooch belly and breathing video but am still confused. What exercises do i do and how many times a day? Any idea how long it might take to fix it?

do you think you could do one on bow leggedness / genu varum?

Hi do you know of a paper about the information you are giving? soemthing from pubmed?

No demonstration?

I've noticed my right foot isn't quite in line with my right knee would this be a result of internal rotation of the femur and what can be done about this? I'm 24 and wondering how much I should be concerned haha.

Can APT cause FAI or does FAI cause APT

Some one dropped a trash can on my leg from a two story drop.

The first issue you addressed in this video is for sure what i've been dealing with for years. Always been having knee pain. Eventually got pictures taken and MRI and I already have starting decline on the medial side of both knees. 😢. PT made me do vmo strengthening to address the tracking of my patella. and other exercises but the knee pain doesn't go away. At this point I'm positive this doesn't help because of the stance of my femur and tibia apposed to one another. Would these exercises be enough to help me get rid of knee pain or am i done for? I am only 36 so the depression is real..
